Tilt Bed - bumper pull or gooseneck?

[Fordman1981]

If I could justify it it, i would trade my Gn just for what you're thinking about, a tilt deck.

Fordman, how long is your deck on your GN?

And your handle is Fordman, but thats a dodge in the pic.

It's a 24' deck and yes ford man at heart classic fords anyway. I have a 71 F350 dump truck, a 69 mach 1, and a 75 f100 4x4 with the 300 I 6. The 75 may be up for sale soon I'm getting a 2013 power wagon tomorrow. The main reason i switched to Ram was the manual trans the cummins is a bonus. Sorry OP didn't mean to derail your thread.

I am looking for a tilt bed trailer for my Kubota SVL75. I prefer gooseneck trailers, but it seems most are using bumper pulls for this type of trailer.

Kubota weighs 9430lbs.

For sure need 2 x 7K axles.

Comments?

If you do not have the GN experience, you will definitely see the difference when you do. A GN pulls much more securely than a BP, and the incidence of fishtailing is significantly reduced. Maneuverability and ease of backing (the ability to jackknife the trailer into tight spots) are enhanced. Load distribution onto the tow vehicle is better. Lots of upsides to a GN.

I have 3 GN trailers now. I am for sure going to get a GN on this weight of trailer, etc.

Have a 2005 Dodge Ram Diesel, put the Tork Lift Super Hitch on it and has 15k weight carry and 17k weight distributing capacity on either top or lower receiver. Tow 13K Weekend Warrior toy hauler and 14k Load Trail dump and flatbed tilt equipment trailers. Back when I put the hitch on it was hard to find a 14k 2 inch hitch but there are many available now.

Do you need your bed? Are you ever going to own a small dump truck to pull it with?
